The Banner of the Cross written by D. W. Whittle

The Banner of the Cross There's a royal banner given for display To the soldiers of the King; As an ensign fair we lift it up today, While as ransomed ones we sing. Chorus: Marching on, marching on, For Christ count ev'rything but loss! And to crown Him King, toil and sing 'Neath the banner of the cross! 2 Though the foe may rage and gather as the flood, Let the standard be displayed; And beneath its folds, as soldiers of the Lord, For the truth be not dismayed! [Chorus]
